the notion that america of all cases, prosecuting a global war against terror, jihadis, extremists of all islamic varieties across the world for ten years, people would think they were in bed with the muslim brotherhood. i would not believe you. >> i mean, look, while morsi was in power, there was a relationship, of course, with the obama administration and the muslim brotherhood. we saw hamid morsi deal well in the eyes of the united states with israel's assault on gaza in november and he was hailed for his role in that. and subsequently after that, he issued a constitutional declaration which gave wide-reaching powers and the obama administration was quite silent. so there was plenty of criticism for the u.s. in that respect. but i think it's very important to understand that the egyptian military is required to spend roughly $1.3 billion in aid to purchase weapons from u.s. manufacturers. these are the large defense contractors that have very powerful lobbying firms in washington. companies like general dynamics and lockheed martin, and they're the main beneficiaries of this aid. a

>> well, america's influence in egypt i think is actually fairly limited. when we talk about it here in washington, a lot of times people say what is president obama going to do, what is our policy? there's only so much we can do, but to the extent that we have leverage, it largely hinges on the fact that we send the country $1.5 billion a year in aid and 1.3 of that goes to the military and what that money buys us in large measure is contacts and relationships within the egyptian military who really are the power in the country right now. there is a personal pipeline. in fact, secretary of defense chuck hagel has been perhaps our lead point of contact in egypt because the pentagon has these military and military relationships. we can at least have open communications. that doesn't necessarily mean that they listen to us or do what we say, but it's better than the alternative which is nothing and we become total bystanders. we want to keep that money going. the thinking is keep that money going and keep the relationships alive, we have a foot in the door. >
